A place to share my voice on important issues: Celebrating our seniors, grief and loss associated with middle age, infertility, depression, anxiety and learning to live fully with both! Faith, ministry, international adoption and special needs. Here's to finding our voices and using them!

Prayer: For those whose loved one is in a care center

Gracious God, take care of my loved one, I pray. May he sense your presence and love each day, in big and small ways. May he feel well cared for. Give him happy moments, surround him with memories that make him smile. May he know how much I still love him, even when I cannot be there. You are a great God, and with you there is always hope. Go with me when I visit him. Remind me that just being there is more important than what I say or do. When he has challenges of body, mind, or soul, remind me that this is temporary. Give me the wisdom to know that one day he will be in your arms safe at rest and wholly at peace. Thank you, God for the gift of my loved one. Watch over them when I am away, dear Lord.

I am the Chief Meteorologist at FOX 9 in Minneapolis; I love my life, love my wife, love my daughters and love my dog...kinda like the cat. I lost a third of my lower lip to squamous cell cancer in 2016...it is now early 2017 and this blog will hopefully serve as my therapuetic writing journey through topical chemotherapy treatment

This is a medium to share my global experience, random thoughts and others’ viewpoints on local and universal issues. It’s an opportunity to learn our differences and similarities, build a sense of community and offer solutions, if possible. Think of conversations over meals, drinks or during seaside walk.
